Host Shubhankar Mishra Questions Raghwani in Show Promo
In a promo shared on Instagram, show host Shubhankar Mishra directly confronted Kajal Raghwani regarding the alleged physical violence. Mishra pointed out that whenever she refers to an assault incident without naming the culprit, nearly 99 percent of the audience assumes Khesari Lal Yadav was responsible. Responding clearly to the host, Raghwani stated that Khesari ji did not hit her. When asked whether she could disclose the identity of the person who actually assaulted her, Raghwani expressed confidence, stating that since she has gathered the courage to stand up for herself, she will eventually reveal that individual's name as well.
Threats of Being Made to Disappear From Mumbai
Explaining her hesitation to reveal the culprit's name immediately, Kajal Raghwani shared that she has received severe personal threats. She disclosed that the perpetrator warned her that she would be made to disappear from Mumbai if she spoke out. Concerned for her safety and that of her household, Raghwani stated that she fears for her family and wants to protect them from any harm. She reiterated multiple times during the conversation that neither Khesari Lal Yadav nor actor Pawan Singh had any role in the assault or the intimidating threats she received.

Following this public fallout, speculations continued to swirl, leading social media users to assume Khesari was the accused party when news of her assault surfaced.
